Each Abductor in Freedom Wars Remastered features a health bar on its torso, which players must deplete to claim victory. To achieve this, a variety of combat items and weapons are at your disposal, each designed to chip away at the Abductor's health in unique ways. Light Melee weapons are ideal for severing specific parts of the Abductor, while Impact Damage plays a crucial role in the broader combat strategy.

Mastering the use of Impact Damage can drastically enhance your ability to defeat Abductors swiftly. This guide delves into the mechanics of Impact Damage and provides tips on leveraging it effectively to take down Abductors in Freedom Wars Remastered.

What Does Impact Damage Do In Freedom Wars Remastered?

Impact Damage is a feature primarily associated with Heavy Melee and select Ranged Weapons. You'll see a percentage next to the Impact Damage, which indicates non-elemental damage that amplifies the force of your regular attacks. This enhancement doesn't directly increase your overall damage output but significantly boosts the Abductor's stagger rate. When the stagger meter reaches its peak, the Abductor will stagger, either falling down or reacting uniquely, providing a window to unleash substantial damage before it recovers.

The stagger meter remains invisible, meaning the Abductor can stagger unpredictably once the threshold is met. This can be both beneficial and challenging. Offline, it allows you to prepare and deliver a powerful attack. However, in online sessions, staggering the Abductor might disrupt your teammates' attack patterns. Some Abductors, like Ramosa, react by moving backwards when staggered, complicating precise binds or hits.

How To Increase Stagger Damage In Freedom Wars Remastered

To boost your Stagger Damage, you'll need to access the Weapon Development Facility. This facility is your gateway to crafting and customizing gear, offering numerous weapon enhancement options. Navigate to the Manufacture Modules section to craft your desired module using various resources. For the Stagger Damage Up Module, you'll require Glassy Carbon, which you can gather as a field resource during Basic Operations. After collecting the necessary materials, use the Synthesise Modules option to combine multiple modules of the same type, enhancing their effectiveness. Once crafted, attach the module to your weapon to elevate its Impact Damage, thereby increasing your capacity to stagger Abductors in combat.

Given that Impact Damage is non-elemental, prioritizing physical damage upgrades over elemental enhancements will maximize your stagger potential. Modules like Stagger Damage Up are especially beneficial for players wielding heavy melee or certain ranged weapons that are naturally adept at inducing stagger.
